MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.
Personal Appearance Of the Unfortlnai
Rival Of Elisabeth.

Personal Appearance Of the Unfortunate
Rival Of Elizabeth.
Her complexion, though ikened by
Brantome to alabaster and ivory, does
not seem to have possessed the clear
ness and brilliancy which the compare
son implies; for Sir James Melville,
though anxious to vindicate his Queens
claim to be considered every lovely"
and ''the fairest lady in her country"
acknowledged that she was less
white than Elizabeth. The bright
ness of her eyes, which Brantome
likened to stars and Chastelard to bea-
cons, has not been questioned; but
their color is point about which there
is less unanimity, opinions varying be-
tween hazel and dark gray. As regards
her hair, the discrepancy Of contem-
porary authorities is even greater.
Brantome and Ronsard describe 4
wealth of golden hair, and this is to a
certain extent confirmed by Sir James
Melville, who, when called upon by
Elizabeth to pronounce whether his
Queens hair was fairer than her own,
answered that 1.-THE fairnes OF them
bath was not their worst faltes." To
this, however, must be opposed the
testimony of Nicholas White, who,
writing to Cecil in 1868, described the
Queen as black haired. The explana-
ton of this may possibly lie in Mary's
compliance with the fashion, introduced
about this time, of wearing wigs. In
deed, Knollys informed White that she
wore chair of sundry colors," and, in a
letter to Cecil, praised the skill with
which Mary Seton-'.the finest busker
of hair to be seen in any country"-did
set such a curled hair upon the Queen,
that was said to be a perewyke, that
showed very delicately."
According to one account, the Queen
of Scots wore black, according to an
other, auburn ringlets on the morning
of her execution. Both, however, agree
in this, that when the false covering
fell she appeared as gay as If she had
been sixty and ten years old"
Mary's hand was white, but not
small, the long, tapering fingers
mentioned by Brantome being, in
deed, characteristic of some of her
portraits. She was of tall stature, tai.
ler than Elizabeth, which made the
Queen of England pronouce her cousin
to be too tall, she herself being, &C
cording to her own standard, ''neither
too high nor too low" Her voice was
irresistibly soft and sweet Not only
does Brantome extol it as "tres douce
ct tres bonne," and Ronsard POLITICALLY
celebrate it as capable of moving rocks
and woods, but Knox, although un-
graciously and unwillingly, also testi-
fies to its charms. He informs us that
at one of her Parliaments the Queen
made "paynted orison," and that, Oh
this occasion, "thair mycht have been
hard among hir fatterias, 'Vox Dian@!'

GIadstone ON Amerlca.

LONDON, April 29.-The officials Of the
American Exhibition gave lunch in honor
of Mr.. Gladstone's visit yesterday, at
which Colonel Russell, of Boston, presided.
Mr.. Gladstone said that the Institutions and
progress of America had always been a
subject of great interest to him.
Ever since, very many years
ago, when he studied the life
Of George Washington, he had become
aware, first, Of the magnitude of the des-
tiny which had been reserved for Amer
leans, and, secondly, that the period of the
birth of the American State was of more
interest than any other it was possible
to study. Whenever a youth desirous Of
studying political life consulted him
respecting course Of study in the field
of history he always referred him to the
early history of America. God Almighty
made Englishmen and Americans kins-
men. They ought to have affection for one
another. If they had not humanity would
cry shame upon them. He rejo!ced that
the clouds which had obscured their
mutual vision had almost vanished from
the political sky and that the future was
as bright and promising as the warInest
hearted among them could desire.

Nevada can now boast of as fine
moonlight nights as are to be found in
any part of the world. Here on the
Comstock, in the pure air undimmed
by haze or vapors, the nights are al
most as light as day. Perhaps in Peru
high up in the Andes. they may have
equally vigorous moonlight but the
people at the sea level and in the lower

face of the moon; nor have they seen

With regard to glacier ice. q
curious speculation has recently been
made. according to which the Aletsch
glacier, situated between the Jungfrau
and the valley of the Haute Rhone, if
it were cut into blocks, the size of the
Paris Bourse, and these blocks were
put side by side, would furnish suffi.
c1ent ice to form double ring round
the earth at the equator. Most of the
Swiss glaciers are far too difficult Of
access to make it probable that they
should ever be utilized for industrial
purposes.

PREACHING AGAINST WOMEN.
Sermon of Fr. Braun at the German
Catholic Church, Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The congregation
of the little German Catholic church in
Franklin avenue. near Monroe street, Brook
lyn, were samewhat surprised yesterday by
the earnest sermon which their pastor, Rev.
FIR. Braun, delivered to them. He spoke of
Henry George, DR.. McGlynn, DR.. Curran
and the Catholic Herald. Said Fr. Braun:
'The women in st. Stephens church pre-
sented Fir. Curran with gold chalice and |
may fancy that they gave it to him just for
spite. What vast deal of trouble the
world has had to endure from women. Look
at all the trouble that primitive tramp,
Mother Eve, brought on the world. DIR. Ne
Glynn will not obey his bishop. What for?
/ am sure do not know"
/ ought to forbid you all to read the Cath
olic Herald or Henry Georges newspaper,
the Standard, but will not. / shall merely
request you not to read them, for if | forbade
you to pay any heed to them you would go
right home and tell your wives and they
would Immediately go and buy them just for
spite, like Eve, who left her husband and
walked like tramp around the garden, and
would eat no apple save the one she was
told not to eat Why? God told her not to
eat, but another gentleman pointing below
told her with wink that God was only fool
ing her, and when she heard that she took
the forbidden fruit. Women bring great
deal of misery into the world"
The venerable pastor delivered an impress
sive warning against heretical and danger
GUS opinions, which the congregation listen
ed to with profound attention.

THE HATTIE MAUD.
Particulars Of Her Pursuit by the
Cruiser vigllant.

A special despatch to the New York Tri-
bune from Ottawa, dated April %, says:
The Department Of Fisheries today re-
eeiyed information from st. John, NJ. b.,
from the commander Of the Canadian cruiser
Nigilant, in which he gives particulars Of an
attempt which he made on April 20 to seize
the American fishing schooner Hattie Maud
Off Grand Menan. The Vigilant was cruis-
ing In shore when Information was received
that fleet Of fishing vessels from Gloucester
was preparing TO fish within the three-mile
limit few miles down. Sail was hastily
made, and when, after making about six
miles, the American vessels were seen. the
Nigllant tackled and ran out TO sea. The
Vigilant must have been seen as soon as she
had herself sighted the offenders, for the
fishermen at once put up sail, the Hattie
Maud being the last 10 start. She evidently
waited for the cruiser, which ran up within
fifty yards Of the Maine boat, which then
bore away. The Vigilant fred blank shot,
was gaining ground, a solid shot was fired
over the vessel, striking fifteen yards beyond
This falling, the commander Of the Vigilant,
trained his guns upon the flying schooner
which was nearly half a mile away, scud-
ding along before a strong breeze. Several
shots were fired but without effect. and the
commander OF the Vigilant, seeing his prey
getting away from him, ordered all sail up
and prepared TO run the daring fishermen
down. just about this time the foretopm0st
Of the Vigilant was carried away and the
chase had to be abandoned. The Hattie
Maud continued on her way toward East
port. 1t Is reported that great many fish
ing vessels are about the Bay OF Fundy look
inG for bait and in many instances buying Il.
Another cruiser will be dispatched at an
early day TO aid the Vigilant In watching
